Siliconera translates a Japanese report on Online Game about an upcoming online first-person shooter from Nexon tentatively titled Ghost in the Shell Online. This project based on Ghost in the Shell- Stand Alone Complex was apparently first revealed last year, and the new report says it will be a first-person shooter with an emphasis on hacking and upgrading your cybernetic body that will feature combat in Tachikoma tanks and the ability to play as a Public Security Section 9 operative. Word is this will be released worldwide following a release in Japan during the first half of next year.

Only remotely good GitS game I've played was on the playstation one. I think it was just titled "Ghost in the Shell" and featured the tachikomas in relatively open world (for the time) environments, jumping between skyscraper walls trying to take down enemies. Fun game, but very simple.. I fear what bringing a goliath like this into the online realm could result in.. but theres part of me that knows that this could be one of the most successful multiplayer games ever created, if done right.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see =)

Edit: Thanks for posting that list of games Nexon has made. Man.. that really fucking sucks.
